Scampusses in Nioh 3 are small, cat-like creatures that appear across the game's many regions. When players come across these Scampusses, they can try to pet them; when they do, they will start rolling away. Players can follow them to pet them again to get a Samurai or Ninja Locks and Scampuss Furball.
Scampuss Furballs can be handed over to the Giant Scampuss, who gives the Ninjutsu that allows the user to transform into a giant Scampuss. The guide below lists the locations for all the Scampusses in Warring States in Nioh 3.
